The Capital Area Intermediate Unit (CAIU) has signed a multi-year contract with Barracuda to provide advanced online backup services to LEAs across Pennsylvania. Under the contract, both the CAIU’s member school districts and LEAs from other participating intermediate units in PA is able to take advantage of the CAIU’s investment in a private data storage center to provide advanced backup services from Barracuda at a reduced cost.

Barracuda’s backup technology gives LEAs the advanced ability to efficiently retain as many versions of their data files as desired instead of being limited to a typical two week tape backup history.
